Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 grams (3.5 oz) pasta (uncooked weight) like rigatoni, orecchiette or penne
- 250 grams (9 oz) sausage (Nduja or other spicy sausage)
- 8-10 stems broccolini
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (as alternative to spicy sausage)
- 50 grams (1.75 oz) grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Cook the pasta. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a rolling boil and add the pasta. Set the timer for one minute less than the recommended cooking time.
- Fry the spicy sausage. Heat olive oil in a skillet/pan over medium heat, then add the spicy sausage in small 1-inch pieces. When cooked and crispy around the edges, remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
- In the same pan, fry the broccolini for a few minutes until tender and slightly browned.
- Add the diced garlic and return the sausage to the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes as desired.
- Add a ladle of pasta water and the grated cheese to the pan and toss to form a creamy emulsion.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the pan and continue to toss the sausage broccolini pasta to coat everything in the sauce.
- Add more pasta water/cheese as needed and remove from the heat and serve topped with extra cheese.
